Overview
- The CBI, which searched homes in Delhi’s Swaroop Nagar early Saturday with the Delhi Police Special Cell, did not find the wanted person and left a notice for his father.
- Investigators say a four-wheeler used to block the target was sourced from Jharkhand and re-plated with a number tied to the Siliguri RTO before the May 6 shooting in Madhyamgram.
- Arrested suspect Mayank Raj Mishra allegedly confessed he drove the car to Barasat, swapped plates at an abandoned spot, took Rs 1 lakh for the job, then went to Buxar where he was caught.
- Three men — Mishra and Vicky Maurya from Buxar and Raj Singh from Ballia — are in custody on remand until May 24 as the CBI works to map the wider network.
- In Ballia, a CBI team questioned Raj Singh’s family and seized documents and shop CCTV the family says support his alibi, while separate financial checks review bank and postal accounts and a withdrawal near Rs 15 lakh.
